Virat Kohli Fitness Goals

“During the off-season period, it is all about working on building muscle mass. The workouts require much more work. I concentrate mainly on my lower body and strengthening my legs and back, which are required for my sport. I focus on functional exercises that my sport requires rather than the ones that make my body look good. During the season, I mainly focus on maintaining and building my fitness and stamina levels,” Virat says.

He adds, “When I am travelling, these three exercises are my basic routine. My closest alternatives to them are looking for a mix-and-match of equipment to resemble my daily workout. If there is a barbell or any lifting plates available, then I am sorted for my lifting set. In the absence of a treadmill, I enjoy doing cross-country runs and love a good cycle ride in whichever city I am.”

Virat Kohli puts in a lot of efforts in remaining fit and setting an example for the others. He is truly an inspiration for the youngsters.
